If you are scrolling through Prime Video wondering what to watch next, stop right there Thalaivan Thalaivii is the movie you shouldn’t miss. It’s a rom-com with heart, laughs, and a lot of real-life charm.


The Story (Without Spoilers)

The film tells the story of Agasaveeran (played by Vijay Sethupathi), a simple parotta-maker who dreams of running his own food stall, and Perarasi (played by Nithya Menen), his bold and funny better half. Their married life is full of fights, love, small dreams, and big arguments basically everything that makes a relationship real.

The beauty of the movie is that it doesn’t feel like “filmy drama.” It feels like we are peeping into the lives of two people we actually know.


Vijay Sethupathi – The Heartbeat of the Film

Let’s be honest Vijay Sethupathi is the soul of this movie. His comic timing is on point, his expressions hit at the right moment, and yes, he looks absolutely dashing in every frame. One moment he’ll make you laugh with his one-liners, and the next he’ll touch your heart with an emotional dialogue. It’s this balance that makes him stand apart.


Nithya Menen – A Perfect Match

Nithya Menen as Perarasi is simply fantastic. Her comic timing matches Sethupathi’s energy, and her natural acting makes you root for her character. She’s funny, confident, and warm exactly the kind of partner every husband is scared of yet secretly loves.

Together, Sethupathi and Nithya create chemistry that feels natural and unforced.


Director’s Touch

Director Pandiraj deserves a lot of credit. He knows how to take simple everyday situations — like cooking, arguing, or teasing your partner — and make them entertaining on screen. The pacing is smooth, the dialogues feel real, and not once do you feel bored.

The film proves that you don’t always need action or big drama to keep people hooked — sometimes small, funny, and real stories work even better.


Other Highlights

  • Yogi Babu and the supporting cast add extra laughs.
  • The music by Santosh Narayanan is catchy and blends beautifully with the story.
  • Cinematography captures rural life and the food culture in a way that feels homely and colourful.
    Thalaivan Thalaivii is a gem it makes you laugh, it makes you smile, and it makes you think about love and marriage in the most real way. Vijay Sethupathi’s effortless performance and Nithya Menen’s spark turn this film into pure entertainment.

Rating: 10/10 — A must-watch family entertainer on Prime Video.
